Feeding of wild boar in hunts of Chlum and Sepekov
KOTALÍK, Tomáš
The bachelor thesis is focused on feeding of wild boar in two hunts. The first hunt which was chosen is the hunt of Chlum. The second hunt which was chosen for monitoring is the hunt of Sepekov. There were chosen two feeding places for monitoring in each hunt. The monitoring started in March 2009 and ended in February 2010. The monitoring of feeding should display differences between forest and mixed hunt. But the main reason was to find out the intensity of visits of wild boar in particular seasons pursuant to the influence of different factors. These factors were judged: climatic (snowfall, rainfall and temperature), the influences of sowing and harvest of agricultural crops during the year, the influence of collective hunting on wild boar near the feeding place and shooting on feeding places. The influence of feeding on the damages made by wild boar to fields was judged too. Localities were controlled twice a week. The feeding places were controlled by Ir-C cameras which were given on two feeding places once a week. These facts were found out by the observing. The intensity of visits on the feeding places is very different in particular seasons. The visit rate of feeding places isn´t influenced by the production of forest seeds in spring. We found out that the most favourite feed in this season was maize. Wild boar stays in agricultural monocultures in spring and on feeding places comes minimally. The popularity of particular sorts of feed depends on the term of their putting and hunting of wild boar in autumn and winter. We can avoid the damages to agricultural crops in spring, autumn and winter if we will have large enough forest in which we will be able to hold wild boar by feeding. The visit rate of the feeding place is influenced by the hunting near the feeding place, but the intensity of this influence depends on the scope of the hunting and the number of hunted members of herd which visited this feeding place. Wild boar visits the feeding place about two or three hours earlier in time of indigence. But during the rain it never appears on the feeding place.
